teri nigah-e-lutf bhi nakaam hi na ho
dil to wo zakhm hai jise aaram hi na ho

chaunka hun nim-shab bhi yahi soch soch kar
wo aaftab ab bhi lab-e-baam hi na ho

tum jis ko jaante ho faqat apni tab-e-khas
wo ranj wo fasurda-dili aam hi na ho

aahista is larazte hue pul pe rakh qadam
sadiyon ka inhidam tere nam hi na ho

ai dil mafar to kar-e-jahan se nahin magar
itna to kar ki is mein subuk-gam hi na ho

dastak si de rahi hai dariche pe baad-e-subh
ai mahw-e-khwab sun koi paigham hi na ho

'khurshid' tu ne kaise nibhain ye uzlaten
jaise tujhe kisi se koi kaam hi na ho
